Hi, I am new to B5 and no one in the area is playing it, but I have gotten a few people interested.  I have a couple questions.

 

1) I have 2 different stats for Whitestars, different crew and different dodge, which one is the current one?

 

2) Interceptors.  When they say roll for each AD, they mean each hit from rolling AD?

Ex: A Light Pulse Cannon rolls 10AD and 4 hit.  The targeted ship has 2 Interceptors.  The ship rolls 2 dice for the 1st hit of 4 getting a 1 and 4.  Then rolls 1 dice for the 2nd hit of 4, getting a 3.  Rolls 1 dice for the 3rd hit of 4, getting a 2.  Rolls 1 dice needing a 6 on the 4th hit of 4. (I hope that makes sense.)

Is that correct?

 

Thanks in advance.

Howdy and welcome to B5!

Answers (as I understand it):

1) Depends: "Sky Full of Stars" (SFoS) book is the most current version of the White Star...UNLESS you are playing in a tourney.  There is a special tourney packet of fleet lists for that, and the White Star in there has different stats than the White Star in SFoS.  Short answer: SFoS unless you're going to a tourney.

To make things more complecated there is a suped up White Star in SFoS called the WC2.  So don't let that confuse you.

2) I think you got that right

I'm not sure which two White Stars you're looking at, but note that there's two different 'models' of White Stars in Sky Full of Stars... The regular, and an improved model that is a higher PL but is a bit tougher and adds a missile rack.
